I dont understand it. when i try to apply update.zip it does about 5% then reboots.

Use a different CSC and flash in Odin. Some are known to be problematic.

how do i change the csc?

Do you know how to use Odin?
Grab the CSC you want from this thread's first post or anywhere else you find one, and then flash it to the CSC in Odin.
If you aren't familiar with Odin, you need to do some reading in the FAQ and the section, it's all described here.
I personally use the CSC that comes with firmware JM5 (search the thread for it or find it on the http://www.samfirmware.webs.com)...it's pretty clean of junk and works with rooting via update.zip)
You might try reading this thread also.

okay where do i locate s1_odin_20100512 . pit file????

i just cant get this to work. i dont know why =[

**** **** i did the pit bit and everything else keeps failing but i can put the phone in download mode thats it! any tips????

lol I am getting the same thing in recovery and after reading your experience I am not keen to give it a try no matter how sluggish this thing is
has anyone who gets the
multicsc : can not acess to /system/csc/VOD/system/
message sucessfully rooted their phone and it still works?

a few more details in case it helps
my handset is from uk vodafone
like many others my sgs has a bit of a lag problem.. the worst manifestation of this is when you cant even answer a call as the screen will not display the accept button within the time it takes to go to answer phone.
besides i would like to root the thing to play around more anyway
the OCLF seems to be the easiest way forward so I down load and start to follow instructions and fail at the 1st hurdle.
as i boot to recovery the following is shown
Manual mode
appling multi-csc
installing multi-csc
mps-dat value: VOD
copy_multi_carrier from: VOD
multicsc : can not acces to /system/csc/VOD/system
copy_common_data
when trying to apply sdcard:update.zip all seems to work well and I have a nija with a gun
however, when clicking on the superuser app there are no apps listed and clicking on log forces the app to close
any application that needs SU tells me that the phone is not rooted
I can find about 5 other refereces to this on Google so i guess it is not common
has anyone come across this... did anyone every get to root who experienced this?
is there another way to get root easily as clearly this does not work for me

You need to flash a new csc with multiple choices then in enter the keypad.
*#272*(put your imei no here)# then select a new csc if you are in the uk use xeu
WARNING: This will probably change your product code and void your warranty.
Check this thread for more info..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787163&highlight=csc
There is also a thread about changing your product code back but it starts to get complicated, so be sure that you want to try this.. I had some network problems after messing with this stuff.. Which are fixed now.. but you should be prepared to do a bit of work to your phone if it has problems..
Also as you don't have root you can't take a back up of your /efs folder.. which stores all your product code and imei info.
Try z4root first to see if that will get you root.. it's in the market and is a pretty easy way to get root.

Use superoneclickroot v1.5.1 to root your SGS instead.

ok while trying to avoid real work I decided to do the full upgrade to 2.2 and then worry about rooting..
followed these intructions here www addictivetips com/mobile/how-to-use-odin-to-upgrade-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-to-android-2-2-froyo-download/
and i now have a happy sgs running 2.2 on the vodafone network

[Q] Correctly flashed?

Well I got bored waiting for orange for release to HKDORA (was stuck on JF3 ) and so I thought I'd use odin.
This is what I did.
Downloaded Odin 1.3. Latest JP7 files.
One file had a prefix CODE and the other MODEM. Looking at guides for other flashes I figured out that CODE is for the PDA selection and MODEM for the PHONE selection.
Used a 512pit file as well.
Selected repartition and autoboot and reset.
I used a multicsc file with XEU listed (couldn't find one for my phone).
Flashed, rebooted, and did a factory reset.
All sound fine to you? I'm worried about the fact I didnt use a matching CSC file, and I have no idea what that does. Do I still have to type in that special code to select a CSC?
You may be asking why I took the risk, but my assumption was that with download mode, it was always recoverable if bricked.
I'm assuming z4root and ryans oclf will be fine?
Thanks.

Sounds okay to me. Go download SGS toolbox and see if your product code is still correct.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Well the code was HKDKOR.
The CSC file was the one from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844459
and so I used *#272*IMEI# to change to HKDXEU.
BUT it did a factory reset with no warning . I had just fully customising the phone. Waste of 2 hours lol.

[Q] Can't mount /dev/block/st110 [Solved]

Hoping a kind soul can help a total fool who should have left well alone!
I have a UK Samsung Galaxy S I9000 phone that was unlocked by the previous owner but still had all the "3" branding which I wanted to remove. I was already on ver 2.2 (updated via Kies) although I don't know the exact revision.
After lots of reading (obviously not enough) I followed a guide to reflash via Odin v1.7 to I9000XWJS3 using separate files for PIT (803), PDA, PHONE and CSC. The guide said to tick Re-partition on which might have been the cause of my problem.
Needless to say after the flash, I got the error message "Can't mount /dev/block/st110" and subsequent reboots just give me a black screen. I still had access to the download mode so I tried another posts solution to fix the black screen starting with a flash to I9000XXJPC with a 512 pit and re-partition again. This time the odin process started but no progress bar materialised. After a very long while I disconnected. Thankfully I can still enter the download mode but this time am hoping someone with more knowledge is willing to help me though the process of recovering my phone if its still possible.
Just looking for any stock UK firmware and then I will let Kies update from now on.
Many Thanks
[Solved]
For those that want a quick summary of what restored my phone. Flashing I9000XXJPC with a 512 pit clicking re-partition.

You still can use xxjpc, with repartition ticked. Many a times, odin will fail for no reasons. Try again, but make sure you close Kies completely.

Thanks g00ndu. You gave me the courage to re-run xxjpc again by confirming I was on the right track and this time it worked. Small donation on its way for helping me recover my phone.
I have one further question though. Can someone confirm if the I9000XXJPC firmware is for the UK? I hope to only use Kies from now on but it now says "the version of the device cannot be updated". I am using the latest version 2.0.0.11014_49.
Thanks again
Edit - Kies lists the current firmware version as PDA:JPC / PHONE:JPC / CSC:JPC (KOR). Something tells me I have the wrong country firmware. If anyone can provide a link to the correct one and the Odin settings I should use it would be greatly appreciated.

Still trying to get a solution to this and have noticed that my product code in Kies registry entry is GT-I9000HKDKOR. I am wondering if this is because I used a wrong CSC file?
Any directions would be very welcome.
Thanks

Go to www.samfirmware.com and grab the Europe/UK firmware. Get a 2.2.1. one. All the CSC, Phone, Modem files should be in the package.

Thanks snapper.fishes. I am now downloading I9000XXJPU (512.Pit) - hopefully this one is correct as some of the downloads for 2.2.1 show (803.Pit). As there are no instructions with this I assume I don't click re-partition. Is this correct?
Thanks for the help

This is almost soul destroying....
I ran the update "I9000XXJPU (512.Pit)" as mentioned above and it flashed successfully. I am now on 2.2.1
Re-plugged in the usb cable and no windows popup to view the sd contents and nothing in "My Computer". Kies recognises something has been plugged in but remains on "connecting" - the phone itself shows the usb graphic and "connected".
I then went into Settings -> About Phone and there is no USB Settings option.
And just to rub it in I typed in *2767*4387264636# as per the wiki guide on here to view the Product code and it's still on Korea GT-I9000HKDKOR.
Edit - Have now tried *#1234# and the phone says:
PDA: I9000XXJPU
PHONE: I9000XXJPU
CSC: I9000OXAJPU
Not even sure if this bit helps

In case this is a help to other novices like me with the wrong product code. I found the following info and you don't need to be rooted to run it:
E.g. Changing CSC to XEU: Note - this will only work if the multiCSC was used when firmware was flashed
Type *#272*IMEI# and select XEU to install. (to check IMEI: *#06#)
Phone will reset to the default setting (perform a backup beforehand if req)
XEU = UK's product code
As for the USB issue (no USB Settings menu option in About Phone), is this just a change in the 2.2.1 menus? I noticed a USB Settings menu in "Wireless and network" and they have changed how this works. Kies still refuses to connect to the phone, but maybe this is just Kies.
Thanks

Jpu firmware is broken with kies. I think from memory that jpy and onwards allows that connection.
Jpu wasn't considered a official firmware but it worked incredibly well.bar the kies problem.

Me Too!!
I'm getting the same error the op did.
What happened? I flashed CM7 and it worked fine. I then decided to do a restore with the backup I had made earlier with CWM, this is when **** went wrong. Couldn't boot up after this or get to recovery. Went into download mode and tried to reflash factory firmware. JL2 Andriod 2.2 for Bell Canada I9000. Says successful but just boots to 3e recovery with " /dev/block/st110, (Invalid argument), E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA: "
Below that it says: " your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions. copy default media content failed.
My biggest fear is the dreaded Int.SD card failure, the op gave me hope but same thing after every reflash.
Any suggestion?

I also have a Bell I9000M that did that. After attempting several combinations what ended up working for me was flashing JPU with 512.pit and repartition enabled, modem, PDA and CSC all selected in odin 1.3. That got me a working device. Then flashed JH2 to get recovery 2e back. Then flashed to the ROM I was originally on (Darky's 9.3). After that I flashed a CWM zip for the JL2 modem to get data back.

Also very important, for JH2 I did PDA only. No pit, no repartition.

Dude you totally saved my bacon. I was dreading the possibility of having to go to Bell. Totally worked, though coolirs media or something keeps force closing but at least the phone is working. Just gonna flash cm7 now since I have to start from scratch anyway.
Thanks again!

Thanks icejagans. Its a relief to know that this is just an incompatibiliy between kies and the JPU firmware. Do you know if there has been an official 2.2.1 firmware available via Kies for UK unbranded I9000s?
Edit - icejagans you're a star, the JPY update fixed the USB oddity I was having and even Kies now connects OK. I will mark this thread as solved.
Thanks for everyones help

Hi,
I have the same problem, Can´t mount /dev/block/stl10
My phone is Gt-i9000 Made in Korea i9000gsmh
I don´t know what stock from is factory rom for my phone.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks

[q] stuck at xxjp1

So I originally got stuck at a problem that contained these errors:
E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
E:Can't/b mount /devlock/stl10
Of course I was able to get to a specific rom through help in the forum, specifically:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788850
I ended up following the advice on post #7 on that thread and installed the XXJP1 ROM. The problem I am encountering now is that my i9000 3G modem isn't working. I don't understand how to flash another rom on top of this rom.
Am I supposed to use Odin 1.3 with 512 pit and rom? repartition checked? unchecked?
Or does anyone know how to install the modem for the XXJP1 rom?
PLEASE help!
People say "flash with JPC" or "JPH" .. but I can't find the roms for those, nor the step by step instructions on how to go about that?
Do I need to CWM? and if so, how do I install that?
I've been working on this for the past 14 hours (believe me, I have tried a few mods before that were working then aren't working anymore so I "bricked" my phone like 3 times already.)
I just want my phone back to stock and have the data working....

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
Or use rom kitchin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703

I followed the first link as my first attempt yesterday, but it kept telling me either the first error I got or second error.
The kitchen instructions don't seem to be too clear on how what kernal to download. It says to download the odin kernal on the link it passes you to, but when you get there there isn't any link that labeled odin kernal. I don't want to download the wrong files and end up "bricking" my phone once more.
I appreciate your help JJE. Im glad people will respond.
Continuing, if there's anyone that can help me step by step. I have gone through MANY of the forums/threads, and it always seems like people forget specific information. Like they'll say "download the odin pit and 'so and so' rom and install the pit and pda" but the file comes with a csc and a modem file. I tried with repartition, and without. with only pit and pda, and with all the files...it always leads me back to getting the original error messages I was getting.
I feel like i'm forever stuck at XXJP1 with no modem...this sucks

I would also like to say to those reading this and who are willing to help me, that I am sorry I am such a noob at this. But you gotta give me credit for working on this 14 hours straight. Dedicated to the Galaxy i9000. Best phone I've ever had until I messed it up

if you don't have 3g , put APN settings in Setting , wireless and ... / mobile netoworks / apn , and I hope you have an European Modem installed.

jje

JJE: Thank you for the link, but the generator gave me a zip. Doesn't odin only take tar files to flash the roms? is there supposed to be another program I am supposed to use?

JJE: I tried transfering the file into the internal SD and then going into recovery to "update from zip" but it gave me the error message that said E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
i think i really am stuck at XXJP1
Thank you very much for the link to kitchen rom though. I was so hopeful with such customizations...
no choice but to send it back to samsung

Is it possible...

I installed the Gingerbread update off samfirmware on my samsung galaxy s but i would like to go back to the official firmware for vodafone UK so i can just continue updating through Kies, is it possible and if so how??
Sorry if this is in the wrong place but i have been searching the net for ages and i can't find anything and all i keep seeing is this site so i thought you guys might be able to help me.

Reinstall the original firmware you saved .
Another one that did not save then you might find somebody with firmware saved .
Or you flash stock rom via Odin use registry spoof method to try to update to Vodaphone current firmware .
Kies only updates original firmware .

It is quite simple. Disable any lagfix or ext4 conversion (if any) back to RFS. Flash via ODIN with preferably 512 pit & repartition (it will save you a lot of time & less opportunity of errors appearing afterwards). I would also suggest you to make a backup of your data & do a factory reset before flashing back.....

On youtube are many tutorials how to flash back to your stock rom.
example:
search: samsung galaxy s flash stock rom
-> the first video
stock roms you can download in this forum

I do not have the original VodaFone Firmware, That's why i need to change this current firmware so i can update it via Kies to the original Vodafone uk firmware, i do not know nothing about lag fixes or anything, i just used odin to update my phone to V2.3.3, i followed simple instructions to do it, it was my first time doing anything to my phone, i know i should of read into it etc....

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
Basic faqs .
Roll back to 2.2.1 from Beta 2.3 Gingerbread .
Post 2 but you are as always at risk of bricking your phone .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033781
Kies will only update stock 2.2 .1 to Vodafone firmware if you spoof the registry as posted .It will not update to Gingerbread until Gingerbread is released .
jje

I'm not very good at these things and i know i shouldn't of done it in the first place but i don't understand those instructions, is there no way anyone has it or can get it for me? or extract it from there phone or something like that?

No nobody seems to bother keeping original firmware >Try a Google search for Voda firmware .
Flash back to stock Eclair 2.1 and try below to spoof Kies.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/spooffw/com.johnan.spooffw
That fails then your update path is via Odin .
jje

Hi, thanks alot for your time to reply to me, i have currently rooted and i have SpoofFW but when it says choose preset i dont have any in the drop down box and i need a Vodafone uk one, any help here mate?

I have posted the codes you should use in SpoofFw thread, but here you go again.
The codes can be found in the presets as UK (Vodafone) and is
Product Code: GT-I9000HKDVOD
PDA: I9000BUJG2
CSC: I9000VODVOD
Phone: I9000BUJG1
An alternative is to use Check Fus Downloader with which you can download the latest official firmware for UK Vod (I9000BUJS3) and flash that file with Odin. The app can be found in my signature.

Hi, thanks alot mate, can you please guide me through how to do it as when i try and find the preset on your app, there is none there! just blank, so i tried typing it all in and following instructions but it hasn't worked could you please explain?
It still says... This device cannot be updated and still gives me my normal product code etc...

make sure you are connected to internet when you start the app, and try use Refresh preset in the menu. also make sure you have busybox installed.
first hit Backup. put the info above in the fields. and hit step 2 ok. Then press reboot, and start the app again. put the same info as before in the fields and hit ok on step 3. Conenct to Kies.
you can send me your complete log right after hitting step1 button if anything goes wrong.
